I received this album for my 16th birthday. I really didn't know much about him at that point, other than he had been in a Saturday morning cartoon and he (and his brothers) were about the age of the Osmond Brothers.
I remember this video well as we rented a VCR to be able to see and play it as part of our Preference date at BYU.
He was very talented.
This is not meant to be a tribute, but I have to admit, he influenced the musical/dance world a lot. I think he also lead a very difficult life.
Then there is Farrah.
Her famous hair. It was the way to have your hair when I was in high school. I never achieved the look, but my blond sister (Joy) did.
I think her hair looked good all of her life--it must have been so hard to cut when she had cancer.
Both lead interesting lives. Nothing I would want to live, but they did leave their mark.

They surely did. Very weird to hear about these deaths yesterday. We were talking about Michael in my aerobics class at the church because I was using PYT and You Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'.
I loved Michael--he is definately a freak, but boy could the guy dance.
Do you feel that you have slighted Ed McMahon since he died in the same week? Maybe if he had shown up at your house with your Publisher's Clearing House check he would be more endearing.
MJ was definitely a creature unto himself. Very talented and very eccentric.
Farrah...sure did love the hair. I really liked her "documentary" she filmed while battling cancer. She seemed so much more intelligent than she was ever portrayed in the media.
